Default snap/grid settings? More like Ronco .... (SOLVED)

[Casualty]

I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a way to do this in Reaper, but...

I don't do midi, I don't use click tracks, I don't quantize my drum tracks, I just record my band and mix. Snapping to grid gets in the way when I edit (snapping to markers is cool though), and every single time I upgrade Reaper and the Brad Sucks Demo comes up (I never miss an upgrade) or when I start a new project, the settings default to snap to grid, so I have to reset them each and every time [yawn].

Oh how I wish I could just "set it and forget it", just like Ron Popeil does in the infomercial with the Ronco rotisserie.....

Now there's a request you won't see every day for a DAW - make it more like a Ronco rotisserie.....

im with ya.

i do all my pre-production out of box. reaper is an audio tracker for me and all this snap stuff makes tracking out, say, a hook four times throughout a track very difficult.

too many (expletive) settings in the grid section!!!

i've been hoping these features would get locked in a trunk and driven into a creek already.

maybe reapers so 'affordable' cause you almost have to program it yourself?

if you use a grid, all that is needed is this:

Well, I NEVER use a grid. Don't want it, don't need it, just gets in the way for me.... but I do use snap to selection/markers/cursor all the time.

I didn't really start this thread to discuss how the grid works. There have already been some extensive discussions on this in other threads

I just don't want to have to uncheck the same three boxes in snap/grid settings each and every time I start a new project.

Just want to stay on topic, that's all....

I just don't want to have to uncheck the same three boxes in snap/grid settings each and every time I start a new project.

Easiest way to do this is...

Adjust settings to taste...then open File>Project settings. At bottom right click the "Save as default project setings button". Done. :)

[Casualty]

D'OH! OK, me stoopid......

Hahaha! Nothing like a little humility to keep the ol' ego in check!

I coulda sworn that every time I used to update reaper it would default back to having the snap to grid items checked.... ???

Okay I'll just go into my corner and shut up now....

dont worry casualty, people like that (i wont mention names) are happy if reaper never suffers any sort of revision that would suit the average user.

the upside is, that its only a small handfull of these 1,000 posts plus people still around on this forum.

these very people are out of their gourd and if i know the type, they haze prospective cohorts while discouraging the vast majority of truly intelligent people from investigating this product with any seriousness.

i think that soon reaper can be used for semi-professional purposes.

its not there yet, but it feels like its on the cusp. until then, there are major, major things that need to be patched.

stop discouraging the
reaper curious.

I love Reaper.... I love this forum.... and *most* of the regular posters here, who are so wise and knowledgeable.

Put me on record as saying that I think this is the most perfect DAW ever made.

And that Justin guy... not only is he brilliant, but also amazingly responsive, kind and considerate. Too bad more people aren't like that, eh???

That being said..............

Er, umm, uhhhh.... something smells funny in here doesn't it?....anyone else catch a whiff of that?

[Casualty]

Oh pardon me,

I just farted.

That must be it.

[Casualty]

Oh, my, I'm sorry if I farted in anyone's face....

or, well almost anyone anyway...

[norbury brook]

I have the snap to grid set to my 'j' key as a keyboard command just like in Cubendo (old habits die hard).that's another way of working :D
